Because no guy packing a magnum would drive around in a car named Powder Puff.

It's a .22 Magnum.

I knew it was probably a rimfire.

instead of starting a new thread i will add a question here.

1). what is the purpose of the power steering cooling system. is there some rack failure issue that caused this to be needed. not a usual feature and i have a couple of reasons that i would like to remove it if no negative results.

2). during the clutch change (as stated previously) i changed to aluminum driveshaft, already had lower gears,,,,,,there is much debate on if removing the dogbone will cause negative effects,,,,,,curious to see what people i know and trust have done

thanks

IIRC, the P/S cooling line is supposed to keep the fluid from foaming up/expanding under high heat or sprited driving. In my experience, it's useless and not needed. My old GT 'Vert had it, and my coupe doesn't (as the original donor car I did my V8 convo from wasn't equipped with it). I've never had any issues on my coupe, and it get's driven pretty hard on a regular basis. If you want to pull it, go ahead, but it's not really taking up much space, or adding any weight. On the dogbone, I've ran with, and without it, and never noticed any difference. If you want to try running with it off, go for it, but if you have any vibration or noise issues, put it back on. I'm running an aluminum driveshaft too FWIW.
